I was wondering if anyone could tell me what weapon selection would suit my style best? I play with a nord and my style is 100% offense and brute strength... I get around with a warhammer... But I'm wondering if maybe duel wielding a couple of axes would give me more slaughter or even if the speed of a great axe or sword is more handy then the sluggish warhammer... I'm starting the game over and befor I get into it I'd thought I'd ask for some advice... Thanks

If all you want is all out attack, then dual wield is most appropriate as there is no block feature, I very much like the idea of two war axes, if you want to go two handed, I personally use a battleaxe with my barbarian nord, but that is just personal preference, I just think that battleaxes look quite good.

As far as 2H goes, Waraxes and Greatswords have the same speed.

Now, for DW...The speed is based on the weapon you wield in the left hand. So a brutal damage output would be a Dagger in the left hand and a Mace in the right hand. However, a Sword in the left and a Mace in the right is somewhat of a favored combination for optimum damage output.

Still, twin axes do look cool and sometimes look will trump practicality and efficiency every time.

Go with pickaxe and woodcutter's axe.

Why not do both? I have a character with dual axes for lower level enemies and a greatsword for stronger ones.

Awesome thanks! I'm thinking of duel wielding this time round... I might have to go with the double axe... Just looks dangerous... But I like the dagger idea... And I may use the woodcutter axe and pick axe combo against a few mud crabs if they dare step to me.

Brute strength you say? Real brutes would just use their damn fists because they're just that tough
